The emphasis of the program is practical rather than academic, and the themes running through the conference are the various aspects of technology and project development. The event comprises five international conferences including dedicated expanded day sessions for In Situ Recovery (ISR) and Lithium Processing in response to industry activity. We are pleased to partner with CSIRO Minerals for ISR and Curtin Gold Technology Group for Gold-PM. The Uranium-REE and ISR sessions, and Heap Leaching short course are organised in cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
